eBay.ph enters Group Buying with Kuponan

Despite the official entry of global giant Groupon in the Philippines, it did not stop more players to compete in the online group buying frenzy in the country. Even eBay Philippines launched their very own “social buying” service called Kuponan.


The homepage of Kuponan is a little hard to remember (http://kuponan.ebaysocialapps.com) although the latest deals are always posted on the home page of eBay.ph itself.

The mechanics for their social shopping is practically the same as Groupon’s and most other group buying sites.

The biggest advantage of eBay.ph here is that they already have hundreds of thousands of users (most of which are already the buying demographics). Sheer numbers and good deals can make them the service to beat this year. Besides, group buying is all about sales numbers anyway.

  1. good info sir abe! thanks

    “it DID not stopPED” —- this is a common mistake

    Warning: i am not an authority in english grammar


  2. ^Excuse me, when one uses the auxiliary verb do and its forms (does and did) it is always followed by the main verb’s main form.

    Double check before you correct.


  3. This is good for consumers. More choices everyday!


  4. I heard about this…sometimes it is tempting but then again, I hope ebay.ph will have an Ipad (or other gadget) for group buying! Hahahahaha A sure HIT indeed!


  5. The Consumer Welfare Division (CWD) under the Bureau of Trade Regulation and Consumer Protection (BTRCP) of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is now ready to accept your complaints regarding the defective phones and poor customer & aftersales service of Cherry Mobile. Please email your complaints to cdw-b****@****.***


  6. I wonder who approved that name.

    Does eBay PH have a local (in the Philippines) product team?


  7. @laess throwing a bunch of grammar rules around isn’t helping yuga nor disprove the guy named grammar


  8. Haha these grammar nazis are funny. “It did not stop” is correct. There’s this other person in another post that commentd on the usage of advice vs advise, tapos mali din sinabi niya. Wag na kasing mag-correct kung hindi naman sigurado. Basta hindi naman jejemon language, siguro pwede namang pagbigyan. lol


  9. I don’t really understand how group buying works but it looks like it is something worth exploring. Has anyone tried Groupon or any group buying site in the Philippines? How does it work?


  10. Sabi sa isang post, group buying business model is so ‘easy’ to copy/reimplement , kaya yan, ang dami ng kaparehas.


  11. I recently purchased something using a different site here in the Philippines and it was ok, the minimum number of vouchers need to be sold for the offer to remain active. Mura talaga sya! nakaka amaze kaya everyday I wait for the new offers to get posted.


  12. I actually bought that deal, Gold’s Gym, from ebay.. But I really enjoyed it!!
    But for me twangoo.com/manila rocks. I love their deals. Especially their deals for this valentines. 66% off on Salon de San Lorenzo for their Hair & Make-up with Mani and Pedi.. Perfect gift for my girlfriend…

  14. Metrodeal has already changed their “Buti Pa Ang Biglaang Lakad Natutuloy; Ang Planado, Hindi!” page to “Metrodeal Philippines”. My friends from the province were shocked and were really enraged! Well, that’s life :D
